Come to Me

READ: MATTHEW 11:28-30; HEBREWS 4:9-10

Too tired to think,

Too tired to pray.

Where is life leading?

Too tired to say…

Perhaps at times you’re weary,

And your strength is near its end.

Remember then that He is there,

Your closest companion, most loving friend.

He’s there to give you all you need

And lovingly touch your heart with strength.

To smooth the rough edges of your thoughts

And make them peaceful and kind again.

He’s there to heal you,

whatever it may be,

To show you the way

and cause you to see.

To reaffirm your completeness,

Again, to make you free.

At peace to think,

At rest to pray.

Where is life leading?

To that glorious day! • Cheryl Elton

• What do you do when you’re feeling stressed, discouraged, or overwhelmed? Have you ever felt too tired to pray?

• Why do you think Jesus wants us to come to Him when we’re weary or burdened?

• Jesus promises to give us rest because He has already completed the work of saving us by dying on the cross and rising from the grave. In Revelation 21:1-5, what are some of the promises we can look forward to on that glorious day when we will see Jesus face to face?

• What are some ways you can take time to rest in God’s presence and ponder the wonderful promises He has given us in His Word this week?

[Jesus said,] “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 (NIV)
